“Our dog loves his visits with Mirabel. He's well cared for, with plenty of exercise and a safe place to stay. We receive regular updates and photos during his visits. This provider has also been able to provide care when our dog was recovering from an injury. Definitely a dependable and trustworthy provider!”
“Natalie is so amazing with Luna and she loves coming to hang out and play. Natalie has taken such great care of my fur baby both times and I couldn't be more grateful that I can leave her and not have to worry 😊”
“Candace was a great sitter! Her parents were helpful as well. Cassie was in good hands and was well taken care of. We were so thankful they accommodated us picking up Cassie after our evening flight.”
“The kennels are large & dogs seemed to enjoy themselves. Both my dogs were kept together which was nice. My boys seemed quite pleased in the photo sent to me during vacation. Will use again if needed.”
“Kristen was amazing with my dog! Had a last minute trip in town and she responded immediately to my request. Very accommodating and took great care of my boy! 10/10 recommend and will use her again when we are back. Thanks!”
“Thank you for taking care of Brownie. I can tell she is more comfortable to visit you! I am very comfortable to leave Brownie with you too! Thank you for responding me quickly. We will reach you again! 😄”
“We are so happy we have finally found a caring home for our boys. Emily is so nice and took great care of Jax and Louie. She sent us so many pictures every day so we were able to see them while we were gone. We will definitely take them to Emily again.”
“Angela is absolutely amazing. She goes above and beyond to care for your fur babies. Simba was well taken care of and enjoyed his 8 day stay. Will most definitely use Angela again in the future.”
“John kept our Min Pin overnight to acquaint with the pup before a week-long stay later this year. He was very responsive to our questions. He provided periodic updates and pics. The communication gave me insight into how the visit was going and comfort in knowing our pup was doing well. We were very nervous in leaving our pup with someone new but he had wonderful references on John. Overall- very good experience.”
“Best. Sitter. EVER. I've tried and been happy (or not) with many boarders, but Jody goes way above and beyond. She's not just knowledgeable and reassuring, she's sweet and kind and will love your fur babies for you. I live in Roanoke, whereas she's in Moneta. But this was such a blessing!! I wanted somewhere Harriet could run and play and feel free and happy. Jody delivers this in a big way- she has several yards of varying sizes with over animals to play with. I kept telling my girl she was going to summer camp, and it turned out to be so true. I don't think she even missed me that much! Please don't let the distance deter you. Jody even offers pickup and drop off services. Harriet gets so anxious going to a boarder's house, but as soon as Jody pulled up, Harriet started wagging her tail and jumped right in her car before I could say goodbye. She's with the dogs all the time- you won't be leaving your pup with someone who leaves them alone. Harriet is very social, and I can tell from just the pictures and videos that her physical, mental, and emotional needs are being met in every way. Please seriously consider Jody- she's phenomenal. I don't really want to tell you this because I want to keep her all to myself, but that would be a gross injustice. She's the best. I won't even consider anyone else again- I'll just move my vacation plans around.”
“5 stars isn't enough for Susan and Ken! Kuma was treated like royalty the entire weekend. What blew me away was their incredible communication—even when I was off the grid with zero service, they kept me completely in the loop. They truly put their heart into pet care. If you want total peace of mind while you're away, book Susan and Ken immediately!”
“David Is calm and caring and took great care of Watson. I don’t often leave Watson but when I do he usually comes home unnerved. That was not the case this time. Thank you!”
“I’m a little offended but very impressed. 😂 When we came to pick up our pup he was visibly bummed that we were there to take him away from Samantha. He clearly had an absolute blast and immediately passed out in the car on the drive home. This was his first night away from us but we received lots of pictures and updates and felt very at peace knowing he was having fun and well cared for. Thank you for putting my dog mom mind at ease!”
“Wow! I hit the jackpot of pet sitters when I found Theresa! Not only did she agree to keep both my small dog and cat, she even kept them together during their stay! It was evident from the daily texts and pictures that she sent that she truly enjoyed them both. Theresa was attentive to their needs and made sure they had the best boarding experience ever! We will definitely be booking her for all our future boarding needs!”
“They looked like they had a great time! Was given plenty of attention and treats. Did not appear overly hungry or thirsty when we brought them back home telling me they were given plenty of food and water. Liked that Lydia has a fenced in back yard and appreciated the daily picture updates and video without me having to ask first. Was also able to get us in last minute and was very responsive. Would highly recommend!”
“Abby did an outstanding job watching my dog, Annie. I really appreciated her updates throughout the time she took care of Annie. I would recommend her services to anyone!”
“We had to book with Kayla pretty much as last minute as you could get. Our original Rover didn’t work out and we needed to find somewhere quick. Kayla was super communicative and easy going! Her other dogs are all so sweet and well trained. It was a great socialization experience for our dog. She sent us so many videos and pictures throughout the booking. We loved Kayla and would recommend her 1000x over”

Maribel and Carl were so lovely and took excellent care of my boy! They sent me updated and pictures while Oliver stayed with them which was super appreciated. They also made sure he got some exercise and let him splash in the river that runs through his property. Amazing care!
Miko always has a great time at Maribel's and Carl's. They have a delightful farm with lots of room to romp. Miko enjoys their walks down to the river. He always seems sad to leave and excited to go. They also do a great job of communicating and sending photos of our furry son and are flexible when travel plans change!

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Ferrum can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Ferrum home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Ferrum.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Ferrum sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in VA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
